I have an attachment to all my sims (especially in my family game)- I raised those kids 😂- so I have my “founder” household and I moved kids out when appropriate and started their own families but they’re all in active households because I like to continue the story..
But what would you say is the best amount of sim days to play one household and then rotate to the next? I’ve missed several pets dying now and I just feel bad
Thanks

What I do specifically is that I set the ageing to "only active household" and "unplayed households" on the first household of my rotation. Then as soon as I move on to another household I uncheck the "unplayed household" option. And don't check it again until I get back to that first initial household that I started my rotation with.
This way townies also age up but not so rapidly.

wait... so I can turn off aging for the played households? but active can be on?
So I have 3 (soon to be more) households I'm involved in all active and played but I can have it so they only age when I'm playing them?

Hmmm I might give it a stab?... but I have a feeling I'd forget

Yes, you can allow ageing on the active played household only. It is one of the options...

So this means - the active household is the one I'm playing at that moment and time "freezes" for everyone else? and in my other played households?

Exactly. Your other played households stay were you left them and don't age with that option.

To do that, go to gameplay options and you'll see the aging settings for played and unplayed households (and lifespan). For unplayed households, there's just a checkbox that you can use to turn the aging on or off for them. But for played households, there's a dropdown menu where you can choose either yes, no, or only for the active household.
But remember: The gameplay options are different for each save. You cannot change these settings in main menu, so you'll have to open a save first to change the settings for that. If you start a new save, the gameplay settings for the last played save will be applied to the new save.
(Same with seasons settings)
I also had a problem with the rest of the world not aging up when my sims did if I only kept aging for the active household. Keeping sims lives long completely fixed that.
